Talib Kweli
Support: Skyzoo, Landon Wordswell, Mister Burns

Talib Kweli
The Brooklyn-based emcee earned his stripes as one of the most lyrically-gifted, socially aware and politically insightful rappers to emerge in the last 20 years.

“I’m a touring artist. I’m an artist that’s internationally known. I’m not just a local artist at this point in my career. I’m cognizant of the fact that what I do is beyond where it started. I’m trying to reach the apex of where I am now, but without turning my back on or dismissing what I’ve done before.”

After nearly 20 years of releasing mesmerizing music, Talib Kweli stands as one of the world’s most talented and most accomplished Hip Hop artists. Whether working with Mos Def as one-half of Black Star, partnering with producer Hi-Tek for Reflection Eternal, releasing landmark solo material or collaborating with Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Just Blaze, J Dilla, or Madlib, Kweli commands attention by delivering top-tier lyricism, crafting captivating stories and showing the ability to rhyme over virtually any type of instrumental.

In 2011, Kweli founded Javotti Media, which is self-defined as “a platform for independent thinkers and doers.” Kweli has set out to make Javotti Media (which released his 2011 album, Gutter Rainbows, and is named after his paternal grandmother) into a media powerhouse that releases music, films and books.

Gregory Skyler Taylor, known professionally as Skyzoo, is an American rapper and songwriter. He has released a number of notable solo and collaborative albums, including Cloud 9: The 3 Day High with 9th Wonder in 2006, The Salvation in 2009, A Dream Deferred in 2012, Music For My Friends in 2015, and his most recent solo album All the Brilliant Things. Skyzoo has also released a plethora of non-commercial mixtapes including Corner Store Classic and The Great Debater throughout his career,[1] and has worked with artists such as Jill Scott, Wale, Lloyd Banks, Tyrese, Dr. Dre, Raheem Devaughn, Black Thought, Jadakiss, Talib Kweli, Spike Lee, John Legend, and others. Skyzoo has headlined or co-headlined often-yearly tours throughout Europe, the United Kingdom, Africa, Australia, and Asia, and he owns and operates the independent record label First Generation Rich.

Landon Wordswell is an Orlando based, St Louis area raised touring artist that has taken his talents just about everywhere. Wordswell has been fortunate enough to sharpen his blade amongst some of the best emcees alive doing shows and touring both nationally and/or internationally alongside greats such as Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Bun B, The Game, Raekwon (Wu Tang), Elzhi, Skyzoo, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), and so many more.
Landon’s live show effortlessly engages the audience with unique personal touches that are added organically via a heavy dose of introspective lyricism and the stories that come with it. At the base of each elaborate rhyme scheme he chooses is a militant, precise delivery. Landon also happens to be one of the newest signees to Skyzoo’s label, First Generation Rich, which will be putting out Wordswell’s most personal album yet, “Remember To Breathe” due to drop this fall.
Mister Burns has played an important role in the Vermont Hip Hop scene for 15+ years. From starting out playing open mics, to an illustrious and award winning run with his group The Lynguistic Civilians to touring the country with his Hip Hop idols, Mister Burns has been hard at work paving a path for himself and his peers in the New England Hip Hop community.
